Brainstorming a new story! Cozy writing vlog ☂️🖋️

I really, REALLY wish for project tea-cup to be put out in the world at some point. I will keep a spot for it in my bookshelf until it finds it's way! All the best on your journey!

Aww it broke my heart seeing your expression after receiving the rejection. I will keep my fingers crossed for you! You deserve a chance. ❤

I felt it! I felt the rejection! Kee your head high. You’ll get the book published! Keep at it.

I teared up at the words on the screen while you were typing on your laptop towards the end. You have a very wise way of looking at rejection and how to work while waiting during the querying process. I’ve read the stories on your website and you’re a very talented writer, so I believe project teacup will be published someday, and I can’t wait to read it!

I am so jealous of all these gorgeous libraries you find to work in! Our local library is a converted department store from the 1970s and is in desperate need of an update 😅

Christy - thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your querying journey. I'm still in drafting mode but hope to be where you are soon. I know how difficult every rejection must feel - gosh it's hard. I know also that you are a BEAUTIFUL writer and I look forward to holding a novel of yours in my hands one day - soon! Big hugs from Ireland - you've got this x

Thank you for talking about this process and also about rejection! I feel like we only get to see and read success stories but it's tough and not everyone is so lucky to be picked up right away.. anyway, we have to be strong and write on!! It's too much fun to create stories not to! I'm really trying to make a step to make an actual writing routine since I'm also kind of gearing up to write a longer story/novel length for the first time... but I feel like I need to make decisions about the story first before I can get into the meat of it ;_; it's so difficult to plan everything out. thank you for inspiring us!!!! I really love these writing vlogs, it makes it so much more clear that it's a practice you have to keep at and that things take time!

I feel like my heart absolutely stopped when I saw she had a reply from an agent (before we could tell it wasn't positive). We're all rooting for you Christy, crossing our fingers and holding our thumbs - as the swedes say <3

What a beautiful library,loved this!!! And the tearoom,my gosh...

the fairy story in an academic tone sounds awesome❤

I really hope you get published,I truly believe no one deserves it as much as you. I hope I find my own voice and write something, even if it's just for myself. I understand how it feels to have stories in your head and the urge to put them on paper.❤

I'm so excited you decided to start a new novel writing series :) I found your channel in the middle of Project Teacup and got really inspired by your tenacity! Good luck with the querying process!

Having that different persona for the 20yr old job-self is so real. Totally get that. Loved seeing you treat yourself with your surroundings tho. Your struggles, ups and downs are so relatable.

I had to put one of my beloved brainstorming projects in the drawer, and I'm trying to find something new to fill my imagination as I work through rewrites of my first novel. You always inspire me so much with your vlogs and they're just so cosy, so thankyou!

Hey Christy! Now, this comes from someone who never commented before and who generally doesn't write comments on any videos at all. But I really love your videos and thought that it might be time to leave some kind words, because I think you deserve them. I discovered your channel at the beginning of this year and felt immediately drawn to the cozy, calm atmosphere of your videos and to you as a person, as you seem kind and optimistic and creative. Of course, I can't compare my own experiences to your experiences, but as an aspiring writer myself, your resolve and optimism is very motivating. More than once have your videos been the reason I "found the time" again to keep on working on my novel and you'll never stop being an inspiration for me, and probably for many others. I really, really, really hope that your novel gets published; it seems that you put so much effort and time and love into it and I admire that so much. (sry, if that came off as weird in any way; I genuinely mean it)

I feel for you Christy. Keep on writing and creating!

Oh Christy how much I love your day in the life videos more than anything else ♥️♥️♥️

I totally feel the rejection, but you're doing the right thing! Rejection is inevitable in any creative discipline, I'm a professional classical musician and I have had so much rejection, but I'm finally starting to get gigs with professional orchestras! You just have to keep pushing through and eventually you'll make it!!! It took me forever, over 10 years of school, 22 years of private lessons and well over 30-40 rejections lol. Also, I will be buying project teacup as soon as it is out 😊

So much patience and trust required, what with things being so out of control. Even the faith in a new process, all over again. It's absurd how my anxieties bubble up while simply listening to another person's journey. I have so much respect for how you tighten your on grip the things that can be changed. It's something I massively struggle with. The waiting immediately reminded me of your introduction of Brandon Sanderson, of how he spoke freely about how his, like, nine novels got rejected, yet he still felt he was improving as a writer and therefore vowed to create his greatest novel yet. (My anxieties at the max, wow!!) You'll get there, some wonderful day in the future, if you hold on to your confident outlook on life 🌻 PS: The teashop - I live for those kind of magical coincidences 😍

Goblin Market has been one of my fav poems for decades. Love that someone as young as you is making it known to a new generation!
